Hadith 12404

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ ، وَرَجُلًا آخَرَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَحَدَّثَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهُمَا ، حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةٌ ، وَلَيْلَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الظُّلْمَةِ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْقَلِبَانِ ، وَبِيَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عُصَيَّةٌ ، فَأَضَاءَتْ عَصَا أَحَدِهِمَا لَهُمَا حَتَّى مَشَيَا فِي ضَوْئِهَا ، حَتَّى إِذَا افْتَرَقَ بِهِمَا الطَّرِيقُ ، أَضَاءَتْ لِلْآخَرِ عَصَاهُ ، فَمَشَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي ضَوْءِ عَصَاهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, during the night, Hazrat Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and another companion were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing some matter. Much of the night had passed and it was very dark. When they took leave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and set out, one of them had a staff in his hand. The staff of one of the men became illuminated, and they began to walk in its light. When they parted ways, the other man's staff also became illuminated, and each man walked to his home in the light of his own staff.
